OK,  a newbee will take a bite!

Is it possible that boolean b would ever be undefined?  IOW,  neither set to
true or false?  Then the second implementation would return an undefined
result string s whereas the first would return "false".

I did a quick test in JB4 and simply declaring 'boolean b' seems to set it
to false (at least in the debug mode), so I don't have any great confidence
in my assessment.

Best

Harry
